Texans: would it be fair to say you can think of a michelada as a beer cocktail, whereas a chelada, its close cousin, is a dressed or seasoned beer? cc

I am at a loss for words here. I'll try... This is a tragedy—for the staff, for readers, for anyone who cares about independent journalism, for everyone at TO who put blood, sweet, and tears into the place.

To emphasize: the Citizen eco-drives are just awesome. They look good, the engineering is 💯, they’re low-maintenance, they work with anything…
What I find really controversial: Fossil watches. What’s the point?
Quote Tweet
My take: A $3k watch maintains its utility, holds value, doesn’t go out of style, can be handed down (like jewelry) and says more about the wearer’s taste than their income
That said, if you want a great watch in the $200 range, I love the Citizen eco-drive. Good watch. twitter.com/ModeledBehavio…

Feel like I need to speak out on the $3k watch controversy. I am not anti luxury. I am against normal people convincing themselves a luxury is a necessity, and spending a significant percent of their income on it.

This could have been an amazing story about religious belief and communities—Sanderson clearly showed the journalist how both inform his writing, as well as explicitly engaging with those questions

To make it even more interesting, every year he teaches a semester long class at BYU on how to write novels an navigate the publishing industry, then posts all the lectures on YouTube for free.

I had plans today but am tempted to spend all day catching up on this conversation instead
The more I read the profile, the more intrigued I am by the subject, and the more baffled by the journalist’s insistence that the subject isn’t interesting

Drag has deep roots in the Lone Star State.
Female impersonators got top billing at the State Fair of Texas a century ago, I found in the archives.
Drag's popularity leaped during Prohibition when folks went to underground clubs.
